HINGE.

To all 'whom it may concern:

4Be it known that I, JosErIr Soss, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kingsfand State of .pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to hinges for doors,

visible hinges of the classdescribed "and claimed in U. S. Letters Patent V#825,943

granted to me July 17, 1906`and #880,697

'granted to me March 3, 1908,- and the object of this invention is to provide a hinge of this class which will permit a door o'r other article to which it may be applied to swing freely through. an arc of 90 degrees and which is also more simple in construction and more strong and durable than other hinges of this class; a further object being to proyide a hinge of the class specied which, whilepartlcularly designed for use in connection'with doors, gates and like articles, may also be used in connection with window sashes, piano covers and various other, articles.

The invention is fully disclosed' in the following -speeification of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which:- 1

Figure l is a perspective view showing the parts ofpmy improved hinge disconnected; ,Fig.-2 a view showing the hingein use and vshowing a part `of a Ydoor, frame and ax-part of a door 1n section, the hingevbeing also shown in transverse section, and the door be# ingfshown closed in full 4lines 'and indicated as 4open in dottedlines, and; Fi '..3 a`sec .tionalv' I in the direction of the arrow :they lling.

ID ti. .drawln forming part ofthisspeci cation I'have s o wn ata a part ofvadoor. frame and atV ba part of a door, and in the practice ozny .,inventionfI provide a hinge which involves two main'partsc and d, an

s pecieation of Letters Patent. Patnted NOV. 21, 1911. Application lea september 2, 1911.` serial No. 647,368.

lthe top and bottom walls ofwhich are pargallel and provided with grooves c5 which' and particularly to what are known sin-` tion thereof with a transverse recess c7 in a comprises a plate member c2 the esi plane Aat right anglesto theplane of the4 members 0B the inner edge portions of which are beveled or rounded outwardly as clearly shown at c. y

The part ai comprising the plate d2 which is preferably thinner than the plate c2 of the part aand the facefof'the plate d? is `pro, .vided adjacent to the side thereof which corresponds with the side of the late c? in which the recess c* is formed, with parallel projecting arms d3 the ends of which are grooves c5 and this recess 0T forms two jaw provided with parallelprojecting portions d4 which range transversely of the plate Z and .through which is passed a pin d 'the ends of which are movable in the grooves c5, when the parts of the hinge are assembled and are ers df.

One end of the L-shaped link member e in the operation of assembling the parts of the hinge is pivoted between. the inner end portions of the arms d by'means ofthe p1ng passed through holes e in said arms and the other end portion of said L-shaped link. member is pivotedl in the transverse recess through holes f2 formed 1n the part c, and these holes f'fand the pin f pass entirely through said plate 0.2 of the part c longitudinally-thereof.

provided with anti-friction roll- 07 in the part o by a pin j which is passed The method of securing the parts of the hinge lthe door frame .and door is ,clearly .10 of this hinge are largevenough to permit t the washers.

' 30 move freelyjn 5 5 being corresponding shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and in this operation the part d is secured in the door and the part c in the door frame. The part d is countersunk in the door in the usual manner and isv 5 secured therein by screws h, and the part c is countersunk in the door frame in. the' usual manner and is securedAV therein by screws c'.

- By reason of the particular construction the operation of securing the same tothe door frame and door as shown when the separate arts of the hinge are as- -semb1ed, can only e done by providing the plate c2 of the Apart c with apxertures jwhich l e screws h and the heads thereofv -to pass therethrough, and the hinge is first secured to the door by assingthe screws kthrough the a ertures y. 4 The ends of the apertures y'. in the plate c2 which open through the face ofsaid late are enlarged to receive washers kwhic are provided with countersunk apertures lpto receivV the heads Vof the screws i, and afterthe hinge has been secured to the door, the

part o2 is secured to the frame by placing in position 'and passing the screws i therethrough as clearly shown in ithv this hinge the ends of the pin d the grooves o and the door is free to swing through an arc of 90 degrees or into the osition shown in dotted lines vin Fig. 2,' and in this operation the doorswin s clear of the frame, and said door may e provided with a molding strip m which will cover the-meeting point between the door and frame when said door is closed on the side in the direction of which the door swings. V40 `The ends of the plate members' c? and d2 and the ends of the body `port-ion o3 of the plate member o2 are preferably rounded or made semicircular in form as clearly 'shown in order to facilitate the countersinking of i5 the mortises in the door frame' and door in which the plate members o2 cured.

'In the 'accompanying Adrawing I have shown but two of the arms d3 and but one of the link members e, but it will be underst/ood that any desired number of .these parts may be employed in order to provide hinges of any desired strength, the size and construction of the plate members c2 and d lly modified, as will be and 'd2 are sereadily understood.

Having fully described my invention, what-I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1. A hinge comprising two late members, the back of one of which is provided with an oblong projecting body portion in one sideof which is formed a main transverse recess'which extends through said n plate member and the top and bottom Walls lare movable 1n said grooves,

v ably said other part.

of which are provided with 'grooges which range transversely .of said plate member, the back wall of said recess being provided in the front edge thereof witlra"suppleiental`- recess adapted'to receive a link member, the

'face ofthe other plate member being p rovidedwith parallel projecting arms having projecting end portions hich range transversely of said plate member and through which are passed a pin the ends of Awhich and a link member one end portion of which is pivoted between the inner ends the other end portion of which is pivoted in said supplemental recess.

2. In a hinge, main plate members one of said plate members being provided at the back thereof with an oblongbodyportion inone side of which is formed a main transverse' recess which extends through said plate member and the to and bottom Walls of which are provided with vgrooves which vopen backwardly through said body portion, but whichdo not extend through the face of said plate member, the back wall of said main recess being also provided in the front edge thereof with a recess in a plane at right angles to said grooves, the'other plate member being provided on the face thereof. with parallel projecting arms the ends of which 'are curved at right angles thereto and `are vprovided with a pin which is passed therethrough and the ends of which aremovable in said grooves, and an L-shaped link member one 'of said arms andv the combination of two v.

end of which is pivoted between the inner l lends of said arms an'd the other end of which is pivoted in said supplemental recess.

3. A hinge comprising two main parts adapted to be secured to a stationary device and a swinging device respectively, one f said parts being provided with .arms slidconnected with the other part and a link member pivoted to said arms and to having screw holes.

6. A hinge comprising two main parts adapted to .be secured to a stationary and to a swinging device, one of said parts being provided with rigid parallel arms slidabl'y connected with the other part, and an L- shaped link member mounted between said arms and pivotally .connected therewith at the point where they connect with4 their bepassed therethrough,

plate and also pivotally secured in slots In testimony that I claim the foregoing formed in the face portion of the other as my invention I have signed my name in 1( plate. presence of the subscribing Witnesses this 7.- A hinge comprising two main parts, 31st day of August 1911. 5 one of which is provided with rigid parallel JGSEPH SOSS.

arms slidably connected with the other part, Witnesses: and an L-shaped link pivoted to both of said C; E. MULREANY,
